Samsung Galaxy S III coming to Malaysia in early June

With the Samsung Galaxy S III finally revealed, the next question will be its availability for Malaysia. The previous Galaxy S II it took nearly 6 months to launch
in Malaysia. This time Samsung will be extra quick in rolling out. Mr.
Lee Jui Siang, the Director of Regional Mobile Business unit for this
region has said with great confidence that the Samsung Galaxy S III will
debut in Malaysia in early June.
This is a breakthrough for Samsung that marks probably its fastest
mobile product roll out ever. European markets will be getting it as
early as 29 May with other countries getting it shortly after. As
comparison, Sony launched the Xperia S in Malaysia within 2 months while HTC took about 1 month to launch the One X
with all 4 telcos simultaneously. Being a flagship device for Samsung
this year, we are expecting something better if not similar to HTC in
terms of Malaysian launch.
